More precisely, they're all born in the first decan of Virgo — the "The Analyst", sub-ruled by Mercury — which sharpens the Virgo signature into something more specific. Pure Virgo — precise, observant and quietly brilliant. You notice what everyone misses and improve everything you touch, driven by a genuine wish to be useful.
